Nobody Beats The Drum - Grindin'

Forum / Found in the internet





That's what I would call something like: completly missed point.
Video itself reminds me cheap scripted 3d studio animation, and making it as stopmotion doesn't give any better look.

...but anyway it's just me and "making of" makes good promotion and marketing. :wink:
When I read "making it as stopmotion" I initially thought you meant that it was done in software, made to look like stopmotion...

I quite like it, actually, and think it is perfectly fine for the music.

I rather like the feeling of moving continuously into the tunnel for most of the clip. I was thinking it would be really fiddly to move all those blocks, thinking they were only about 1-2cm wide - probably because they remind me of the 1cm wooden "rods" (from 1cm cube up to 12x1x1cm I think) that were used in primary school to learn how to count and do simple maths (but which were mostly enjoyed as little precision building blocks) - so it was nice to see the scale at the end.

Everyone has his own gust, I'm not big fun of such so-well-designed-but-boring-after-1-min videos, however the issue with this one is that the biggest value of this is that it's done with wooden blocks. And that is not the feature which should make video worth to watch... especially that it doesn't look any better - if it was made in 3dstudio it will probably look more clean and be done faster. So what's the point?

most extreme case of "similar" kind of approach:
